Ohbijou Video - In Tune Session and More

I found a few Ohbijou videos that you might want to check out at more or less the same time. The first is from the in-turns sessions, then there is a 'making of' video for their New Year's video. More on Ohbijou at ohbijou.com.

Happy Holidays (and a free Holiday Song) from Ohbijou

Over on their website Ohbijou has posted a recap of the amazing year they've had and is offering a free download of their cover of Wham's - Last Christmas. Of course if you signed up for their newsletter like you were supposed to (you didn't forget did you?) you've already gotten all of this. Go over there and get your free song and fill in the paperwork. I mean all they've done this year is release a brilliant album, get signed, toured pretty much everywhere spreading the love of Canadian music, played numerous big shows, small shows and festivals, and release Friends in Bellwoods II to raise money for food banks in the middle of a recession.

Give them some love and get some back at http://ohbijou.wordpress.com/2009/12/11/happy-holidays/
